Margaret, I don't know moths. But to you and everyone (in North America anyway), let me just remind you that the folks at BAMONA www.butterfliesandmoths.org will let you submit a sighting and they will identify your butterfly or moth for you. Sometimes they take a little while in busier areas (like Florida, I guess) but they're really good at what they do. I like to submit whatever I see in West Virginia because I doubt there are a lot of rural West Virginians submitting their sightings. The whole county where Grandma lives still has only 20,000 people in it! I mean, my high school in Tampa had 2,000 people! So I like to give data about rural areas when I visit them. I figure we probably know a lot already about butterflies in my part of Florida. It's those less populated areas where we need more data. Plus, I don't know all the butterflies in that region anyway so sometimes I really don't know what I've seen even with my book in hand so I like to have someone confirm it for me. I figure it's a fair trade - they get more data and I get an identification!
